My buddy knew my wife got me a Lee pot, mold and ladle for Christmas so he had to be a good elf and drop off 35 lb of 1 lb ingots of pure lead. I guess I will have to go out and pick myself up some 50 50 bar solder and put that under the tree as well. :happy dance:

I'm glad Santa found an intermediary to drop off that lead, with all the casters around here I'll bet his sleigh will be getting a little weighed down for those poor reindeer!:lol:

Like you said, a little tin and you'll be in business(soon).

If you have any wheel weights "laying around", make up an alloy of 50/50. Equal weight of both types of lead makes a very usuable alloy, and stretches both types of lead usuage.Robert
